I would totally would have wanted an funeral like, Why because it is nice to feel like people care. And I rather have family or friends not mourn too much over me, but the fun time and stuff, not think that only “eight people” shows up, some people thing like. I think it would have been better if you guys started to come at different time, it would have totally look realist and more respectful, but i understand that it would have been hard to come up with excuse to say something to the people mourning if they ask anyone why they were really there…

Glad to see you didn’t break up, sing or anything that would have been really disrespectful—–you really did nothing wrong

I know it was intended as a ‘joke’, but to me the exercise showed indifference to the probability that at least some people would experience distress and sadness when they observed this intrusion on their concept of a very sad, and presumably private moment. Humor often attacks authority and institutions and when effective, the result is to trivialize and humiliate. I assume the promoters did not think this through, which would be understandable in an impulsive teenager. Otherwise I conclude they were uncaring. Their exercise shows a lack of civil respect for those who have different views of the ceremony of burial.

I found your other stuff really uplifting and enjoyable. I am sad to realize that you don’t seem to have the insight and civility to sense that this could be deeply offensive to some people, even if you meant it to be a joke.

You know, conceptually, I’m okay with a total stranger paying respect to the dead. People pay respect to dead soldiers they didn’t know personally, why not for another human being? He may not have been a soldier or a great artist or anything special really, but he still lived the same life on the same earth as us. That means SOMETHING, doesn’t it?

But when some self absorbed improv group uses it to feel good and smug about themselves, that’s when I have a problem with it.

BUT THAT’S NOT YOU! Because this was an April Fool’s joke. And it was AWESOME. The best ones are the ones that actually fool people, after all!

Well then do us a favor, and quit, because you’re obviously too much of a jackass.
